1
00:00:22,44 --> 00:00:29,22
Here are the children on their way to the

2
00:00:31,32 --> 00:00:33,90
tomorrows doctors and nurses writers

3
00:00:33,91 --> 00:00:40,40
and lawyers morrow spacemen
the school could be

4
00:00:40,40 --> 00:00:41,49
and your community.

5
00:00:42,57 --> 00:00:46,80
Maybe you pass on your way to work
your neighbor's child may be here.

6
00:00:47,70 --> 00:00:53,03
Maybe your own attendance at the
school is high and so other great

7
00:00:54,11 --> 00:01:30,94
and one reason could very well be in
the National School Lunch Program.

8
00:01:34,24 --> 00:01:40,64
It happens every new Monday through
Friday in this school in all schools

9
00:01:40,64 --> 00:01:43,86
that take part in the National
School Lunch Program.

10
00:01:44,92 --> 00:01:45,84
It happens every noon

11
00:01:45,84 --> 00:01:51,98
or pupil who takes advantage of the lunch
program lunches are planned by a local

12
00:01:51,98 --> 00:01:57,49
school manager whose menus have taste
appeal and day to day variety.

13
00:01:57,50 --> 00:01:59,83
A good lunch provided from a third to.

14
00:02:00,00 --> 00:02:05,46
One half of the students daily news in
thousands of schools across the country.

15
00:02:05,49 --> 00:02:10,00
Millions of schoolchildren participate
in the National School Lunch Program

16
00:02:10,82 --> 00:02:16,54
impressive actually not only a little
over one third of our school enrollment

17
00:02:16,54 --> 00:02:20,71
participates.

18
00:02:22,66 --> 00:02:27,26
The price of a lunch is low an
average of less than thirty cents

19
00:02:27,26 --> 00:02:29,75
or those who can afford it even lower

20
00:02:29,75 --> 00:02:35,96
or those who can bring a charge for the
child of a needy family lunches are

21
00:02:35,96 --> 00:02:40,28
designed to be nutritious
attractive and well balanced.

22
00:02:40,29 --> 00:02:43,37
Type A They're called maids

23
00:02:43,38 --> 00:02:48,11
and other foods rich in protein a
combination of fruits and vegetables.

24
00:02:48,69 --> 00:02:54,72
Bread butter milk. Type A.

25
00:02:55,91 --> 00:02:58,05
Nutritious lunch helps a child stay alert.

26
00:02:58,32 --> 00:03:02,50
It helps teenagers make that final
spurt of growth but develop them

27
00:03:02,50 --> 00:03:04,24
and to help the grownups.

28
00:03:04,25 --> 00:03:10,00
It gives all you the energy
to keep up and grow up.

29
00:03:11,87 --> 00:03:15,26
And what better use for our cultural
riches than the school lunch.

30
00:03:16,72 --> 00:03:20,56
The total food consumed in the school
lunch program represents an ever growing

31
00:03:20,56 --> 00:03:24,28
market for our farms and
our food and history.

32
00:03:24,30 --> 00:03:28,22
Of course there are schools that just
don't have and some cafeterias like this

33
00:03:28,92 --> 00:03:31,28
or efficient kitchen
facilities of their own

34
00:03:32,31 --> 00:03:34,30
but this hasn't stopped some schools

35
00:03:34,30 --> 00:03:39,70
that lack such facilities they still
have a lunch program. A different kind.

36
00:03:40,82 --> 00:03:47,34
I've asked a school nutritionist to tell
us about it in her own words on his

37
00:03:47,34 --> 00:03:53,22
empathy it every day in one big central
kitchen and so many neighboring foods

38
00:03:53,22 --> 00:03:55,20
that no kitchen sink
Bill Gates of their own

39
00:03:56,21 --> 00:03:59,65
and lunches we put together
all types in popular.

40
00:04:00,00 --> 00:04:06,83
Plenty of good protein is valid
for vitamins and minerals.

41
00:04:08,16 --> 00:04:11,96
Addressing add flavor.

42
00:04:14,21 --> 00:04:16,59
And carbohydrates like oven fresh key.

43
00:04:16,83 --> 00:04:22,51
You're always easy to take.

44
00:04:24,97 --> 00:04:26,28
Every lunch is separately

45
00:04:26,28 --> 00:04:37,26
and attractively read.

46
00:04:38,32 --> 00:04:52,01
And it is placed in its own paper
bag to become a personal letter.

47
00:04:52,93 --> 00:05:00,93
Well in advance of the noon hour a
driver picks up the bag lunches.

48
00:05:02,75 --> 00:05:08,26
Lunches with those who have taken the
initiative to enroll in the school lunch

49
00:05:08,26 --> 00:05:13,89
program in a big metropolitan
city maybe thirty five.

50
00:05:14,07 --> 00:05:16,42
I'm a possible one hundred sixty five.

51
00:05:17,34 --> 00:05:22,79
Have a lunch hour like Baghdad used
to be did a large multipurpose room

52
00:05:23,77 --> 00:05:29,55
that at lunchtime becomes a cafeteria the
place of the perp is more than adequate.

53
00:05:56,96 --> 00:05:59,31
In other schools the setting
isn't always the best.

54
00:06:00,00 --> 00:06:04,67
And there just isn't enough room
children have to eat right at the death.

55
00:06:13,29 --> 00:06:16,08
But they are being fed and said Well

56
00:06:16,08 --> 00:06:22,42
and that's what counts more schools should
do it every school should do it this

57
00:06:22,42 --> 00:06:25,32
time once maybe the only real food.

58
00:06:25,58 --> 00:06:29,68
Some of these children
eat all day long school

59
00:06:29,69 --> 00:06:35,49
and missed lots Porter is someone pick you

60
00:06:38,69 --> 00:06:40,87
well that's the picture
in the city school.

61
00:06:41,40 --> 00:06:44,19
But the picture changes when
it comes to the rural school.

62
00:06:45,34 --> 00:06:49,45
Some of them are miles away from
modern highway in far out of sight.

63
00:06:50,84 --> 00:06:53,01
Nevertheless with enough determination

64
00:06:53,01 --> 00:06:56,61
and courage a school lunch
program can happen.

65
00:06:57,57 --> 00:07:04,55
Let's hear about it from one such teacher
in charge before the school day actually

66
00:07:04,55 --> 00:07:10,19
starts. My husband and I pay a visit to
the doctor or to buy the day's menu.

67
00:07:11,44 --> 00:07:15,81
It's a good store. And it's
right off the main highway.

68
00:07:15,83 --> 00:07:18,94
So we can count every
fresh milk every day.

69
00:07:20,20 --> 00:07:23,95
What's more they stock a large
variety of refrigerated

70
00:07:27,09 --> 00:07:30,25
vegetables after the good children like to

71
00:07:43,71 --> 00:07:48,00
it's a long drive to the school
that we're here we're a drive.

72
00:07:48,03 --> 00:07:51,41
Nobody was prepared country
under-developed hour

73
00:07:52,56 --> 00:07:55,83
but we do it every day

74
00:07:55,84 --> 00:07:59,72
and it's become part
of our regular bridge.

75
00:08:00,00 --> 00:08:00,49
Rough

76
00:08:00,49 --> 00:08:07,45
but the children bless their heart get
this girl ahead of time these days

77
00:08:08,32 --> 00:08:22,77
just waiting to see us drive up.

78
00:08:27,04 --> 00:08:36,20
And they can't do enough to help.

79
00:08:37,73 --> 00:08:41,16
Of course my class is a small
when so much preparation

80
00:08:41,16 --> 00:08:42,90
but what you call a hardship

81
00:08:44,06 --> 00:08:49,26
and we're mighty grateful for refrigeration
keeps the milk another perishables cool

82
00:08:49,26 --> 00:08:51,72
in hot weather and fresh all morning.

83
00:08:53,14 --> 00:08:54,30
Good for leftovers too

84
00:08:55,43 --> 00:09:06,26
but we never really cut
our leftover noontime

85
00:09:06,27 --> 00:09:10,47
when everything is ready ready
for our hungry ungrateful little

86
00:09:17,66 --> 00:09:19,50
yes it happens every noon

87
00:09:19,50 --> 00:09:27,55
or the lucky schoolchildren in
the Knesset parks County another

88
00:09:27,56 --> 00:09:31,58
county another school house one
that's closer to the main highway.

89
00:09:32,79 --> 00:09:34,69
Here food deliveries can be made.

90
00:09:38,87 --> 00:09:42,88
The older girls get things ready for lunch
giving the teacher a chance to remain

91
00:09:42,88 --> 00:09:47,67
with the younger children the back of the
school room becomes an impromptu kitchen

92
00:09:47,67 --> 00:09:50,07
very often the hot lunches prepared.

93
00:09:50,31 --> 00:09:53,99
The only hot food some children
can look forward to all day

94
00:09:55,52 --> 00:09:59,47
and nowadays the kids are so willing
that even the boys are eager to wash up.

95
00:10:00,00 --> 00:10:15,80
The noonday meal.

96
00:10:18,46 --> 00:10:18,89
The energy

97
00:10:18,89 --> 00:10:23,60
that a well balanced meal give them will
extend far beyond the lunch period into

98
00:10:23,60 --> 00:10:25,04
the late hours of the afternoon.

99
00:10:25,57 --> 00:10:30,55
It will keep the children alert
even enthusiastic about school.

100
00:10:32,66 --> 00:10:33,49
Yes. Here again.

101
00:10:33,94 --> 00:10:39,85
It happens every new the way it can for
many little rural classrooms all over

102
00:10:39,85 --> 00:10:42,27
America through the initiative

103
00:10:42,27 --> 00:10:46,69
and the ingenuity of local communities
with the right spirit lunch programs have

104
00:10:46,69 --> 00:10:51,97
begun in hundreds of isolated one
school where many children can't afford

105
00:10:56,80 --> 00:11:01,52
the United States Department of Agriculture
donated some food along with cash to

106
00:11:01,52 --> 00:11:06,76
help schools Bible local us contributing
about one fifth of the cost of school

107
00:11:06,76 --> 00:11:07,82
lunches.

108
00:11:08,80 --> 00:11:11,15
But merely making lunches
available still doesn't mean

109
00:11:11,15 --> 00:11:13,20
that all children get good nutrition.

110
00:11:17,68 --> 00:11:21,48
Some kids just don't buy the school.
I think it's perfectly all right.

111
00:11:21,91 --> 00:11:28,62
Pretty cool to live on snow teenage girls
are the most holy fad of any group

112
00:11:28,62 --> 00:11:33,83
in the nation alarming is not when you
consider their future jobs as wives

113
00:11:33,83 --> 00:11:34,00
and mothers

114
00:11:40,19 --> 00:11:44,15
and take this youngster looks like
he can safely skip a meal or three

115
00:11:45,62 --> 00:11:51,72
but don't people what he really needs
is a meal a meal with food that counts.

116
00:11:54,87 --> 00:11:59,57
Is this happening in your community
find out because many children are not.

117
00:12:00,00 --> 00:12:05,34
Good lunches at school. Perhaps
your school is already taking part.

118
00:12:05,56 --> 00:12:06,83
Very well and good

119
00:12:07,99 --> 00:12:12,60
but ask your school lunch manager if
every child is getting a good lunch.

120
00:12:13,61 --> 00:12:17,24
If not it's time to enlist the
support of your local people.

121
00:12:19,09 --> 00:12:24,11
The federal government is putting up its
share of the community must take on yours

122
00:12:24,94 --> 00:12:26,39
work with your school officials

123
00:12:26,39 --> 00:12:30,22
and the state school lunch director in
your state's Department of Education.

124
00:12:30,57 --> 00:12:33,95
They'll tell you how to
get one going going soon.

125
00:12:35,19 --> 00:12:36,53
Once you do see to it

126
00:12:36,53 --> 00:12:44,46
that all children have their
life they approve type.

127
00:12:45,68 --> 00:12:52,30
Let it happen every night in every
school in every state after all

128
00:12:53,22 --> 00:12:55,28
you can't teach hungry child.
